Question

Physics students ride the Power Tower at Cedar Point. The drop only takes 5.53 seconds until the car brakes. What was the height in meters that these brave students dropped?

-Thanks

Answer 1

Distance dropped = (g/2)t^2, where
g = 9.8 m/s^2
is the acceleration of gravity (on Earth).

Plug in t = 5.53 seconds and see what you get.
